Newer Technology Inc. (NewerTech) makes proper battery disposal easy by including a Free Return Shipping Label with every NuPower laptop replacement battery sold. As an added measure of convenience, no extra packaging materials are needed as that the NuPower battery box is designed to be reusable for the battery disposal return.

By making it as simple as taking the NuPower battery out of the box, putting the expired battery from the laptop in, and affixing the prepaid return shipping label, NewerTech continues its leading position in providing a no-cost means for customers to ensure that old PowerBook and iBook batteries are properly disposed of and that recoverable materials are responsibly recycled.

"NewerTech is proud to provide the Mac community the highest capacity and longest lasting Powerbook and iBook batteries available," said Grant Dahlke, Marketing Manager of Newer Technology, Inc. "NewerTech is just as proud to lead the way by making proper environmentally-friendly laptop battery recycling/disposal a no-cost option for our customers."

NewerTech's battery return programs assure proper recycling of recoverable materials and prevent toxic elements from leeching into land and groundwater. Further, every NewerTech battery currently in production is manufactured Mercury-free. And, NewerTech's line of Intelligent Battery Charger/Conditioners extend the useful life of Apple, NewerTech, or third party laptop batteries, reducing the number of batteries consumers need to discard.

NewerTech also proactively hosts information on its website for local disposal options available to technology users. Information on the no-cost NewerTech recycling program as well as local disposal options can be found at http://www.newertech.com/recycle.
